Built for Ford F-150 2WD owners who want a level stance and room for bigger tires without sacrificing ride quality, this 3-inch leveling kit brings your truck's front end up to match the rear for a balanced, aggressive look. It accommodates up to 32-inch tires and pairs lifted spindles with 2-inch rear lift blocks to deliver the ground clearance and appearance you're after — all with Rough Country's proven N3 shocks engineered for stable, comfortable handling on road and trail.
